A restless sleep I dreamed a dream the other night Where I rode the back of this blackbird in flight He took me down just to see what I could sow Another light in this big city glow When I touched down I hardly recognized the place no more Cause now there were signs And they hung from every door One said "Please" One said "No" And one said "Sure" One said "Be careful, boy, you know it ain't safe no more" One body breaks, one body's born One seam is sewn, you know one seam is torn One person waits for a sign that'll never come One person lives each day like it's their last setting sun I met a man and he wore a diamond ring Said the path we take, well it can be a funny thing Have you heard them trumpets sound? Have you heard those angels sing? And I cried: Dear Lord, won't you spare me, please? Songtexte His face grew red and his voice, well, it went higher Goddamn you boy, you're gonna be fodder for the fire I clicked my heels as I lit up a cigarette And I cracked a smile, said: "Try not to forget" One body breaks, one body's born One seam is sewn, you know one seam is torn One person waits for a sign that'll never come One person lives each day like a sell-out setting sun Aus Songtexte Mania
